: He made some weird comment to Wallace about having asked specifically not to room with one of them...then elaborated that he meant 'someone better looking', which would be hard as Piz ain't so great. I think he was trying to be funny...Wallace doesn't seem to have any problems with him.

the way he seemed so hesitant, it made me really think that what he was about to say was "I asked not to have a black roommate". Maybe that was just the vibe I got though. He definitely was about to say something other than what he actually said, and I can't think what else it might be!
